OUR WOMEN ON THE GROUND Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World

Narrator Soneela Nankani delivers a clear and authentic performance of this essay collection by Arab women journalists. Most of the media coverage of the Arab world is created by Western journalists, but the Arab women featured in this collection have significantly better access to what is happening in their own countries. Nankani's narration is sensitive and emotional yet straightforward as she recounts the very real horrors these women face on the job. She maintains a conversational tone that invites listeners to change their ideas of what it means to be an Arab woman. Though the transitions between each work would benefit from a longer pause, these essays make for a truly compelling listen. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2019]
